Why insist on putting them in a net then?

Put them in a cardboard box or bundle them up and tie them up with wire or string or just send them loose.

It’s a carry to the car park thing- long story ☹️

Why not wrap them in banana leaves...



..then you can reuse the leaves to cook a trout in or something? [emoji106]

How about hand pallet strapping?

Use the metal wire buckles, leave a longish tag on the strap as a carry handle and if you train your customers to cut in the right place it is recyclable enough to get a few goes out of each strap. The buckle will practically last forever.

Is there any reason these buckles couldn't be used with a natural fibre tape?

 

When my client first showed me kindling for  a supermarket chain in cardboard boxes and shrink wrapped I couldn't see the sense in it but it paid.

Even tried working out if a jute shopping bag would do but they just aren’t big enough?

I’d go down the spud sack route personally mate, could probably get your logo printed on with a return notice, just found these at £1.60 a pop

I can't see the sense in buying logs in nets myself but plenty make it pay. Same goes for coal in a plastic sack in a petrol station.

I am constantly surprised at what people will spend their money on.

Me too -I carnt supply quick enough, people want convenenience, I wouldn’t ever buy a ready meal in a plastic tray but the supermarkets stock and sell loads! I suppose log nets are the same?

 

I will look in to potato sacks and try and get a sample- I glad I’m not the only one - just trying to cut the use of plastic?
